    The third Parramatta try was a loose carry as well. Elsewhere, good to see the Warriors lasting a week before reverting to type.

    Okay, don't pick the assistant. But they overlooked the other blokes?

    St. Helens getting a fee for Luke Thompson and throwing him under the bus for refusing to take a wage cut is beautiful business. Eamonn McManus for Man of Steel.

    The Broncos should be offering a big back ended deal to get James Graham up here.

    He's a legend but he's finished (in the NRL at least), and the last thing Brisbane need is another forward struggling with his defensive workload.

    A couple of the tries they shipped earlier have a definite whiff of 'lost the dressing room' about them. People aren't even doing basic stuff.

    The singing of Swing Low, Sweet Chariot by England fans is under review for its 'historical context' and inappropriateness.

    Never been a massive fan myself but fucking lol at that.

    Hopefully Rogers and Hammerstein weren't massive slave owning racists.

    They could always replace it with another rugby club classic such as: 'Get 'em down, you Zulu warrior, get 'em down, you Zulu chief chief chief'

    Probably less 'racist' on the contemporary batshit-ometer than Swing Low is.

    Hmm.

    I read he quit drinking because he got so drunk he smashed his head on a rock, so at least he’s got a tenuous link to my boy Ben Barba.

    James Graham is my favourite rugby league player. That time the referee audio caught him calling [Sir] Cameron Smith a 'cheating cunt' is right up there.

    I read today that the AFL might need to move all Victorian teams to Sydney for the rest of the season. Grand Final might be moved to Perth.

    Lolol

    I don't think he would be as effective at somewhere like Canterbury. The way Canberra play suits him perfectly, and the other teams that would won't pay him the money he wants. Wigan offering that much is a bit bold as well with Super League probably looking at a real terms reductions over the coming years.

    He's a bit dense really.

    If contracts were set in stone the clubs would start moaning before the players because it would be impossible to juggle the salary cap. Canberra were happy to let Joey Leilua 'explore his options' because they wanted his wages off the books to re-sign Jack Wighton, so can they really complain about players initiating it?

    Nah it is all the agents black mailing clubs to sign a couple of the less talented blokes to longer contracts so they get access to the blue chip players. The Broncos have the coach anf half of their list under 1 bloke lol.

    They need to make a rule that they cant sign teenagers to long term deals with an agent it should be a year to year deal or something.

    Apparently Fifita will ditch his agent at the end of the year so he can sign a big 5 year deal with the Titans or Broncos and doesnt want to pay 5 years worth of commission.

    I think it is Issac Moses who is in eveything.

    Top quality TMO work there. DCE patting someone on the arse in the first half is a professional foul, but completely cleaning out a winger without the ball as he's about to score the match winning try is A-OK. Joke.

    He went on to ask 'Are your eyes painted on you bunch of spastics?' as they went to the 'sheds', so the NRL, right... The NRL wants him to go and help out in a special needs school, because obviously Crocodile Dundee is running the disciplinary.

    Most of their teams would piss the league (and would probably all win it easily enough), but you would expect them to get mugged in the odd Friday night away game. The Roosters though. I don't know. They're pretty incredible across the board.

    lol at 'The Bunker' again, thinking the Storm winger hasn't just intentionally run into the guy who's meant to have taken him out there (and gone down with a swan dive).

    It's so predictable which way the TMO swings in almost every game.

    All ten Victorian AFL teams will be based in QLD for 10 weeks.

    The final nail in the coffin will be when the relocate the Melbourne Cup to either the Gold Coast or Brisbane.

    They've pulled out of the season, which means somebody has hinted to them that there won't be any relegation this year. MONEY BILL must be loving it.

    Sure enough, no promotion and relegation this season, and loads of SEETHING 'Fev' supporters. It's not happening lads. You had a hundred year run up as well.
